" So ," Joy said as she snuggled up against Faith in their bed ," did you tell Dodie you quit? "

Faith rolled her eyes. " Yep. "

Joy cut her eyes at her. " And ? I'm waiting for the" well what had happened was " ?"

Faith laughed. " Not that bad. She just yelled. Threw things. Threatened to never give me a recommendation.  Average day for her. I think the woman needs some of my cousin Bullet's medicine. "

Joy burst out laughing and Faith turned to her with a kiss. Then Faith pulled back. She looked at Joy so long that it was starting to make her nervous.

" What? ," Joy asked.

" I know why Winston asked you to be his surrogate mother. I think you would make a great mother. "

Joy smiled faintly. " Thanks. So would you. Sometimes I wish things had been different. I would love to know what being pregnant is like. Having a baby. I guess it's destined to stay a mystery. "

Faith cut her eyes at her fiancee. " I never saw myself as a mother type. But the older I get I don't know. Might want to give it a spin. When you told me what he asked I felt a little envious of you. "

Joy furrowed her brow. " Envious of me ? Why ? You don't want to be a surrogate mother. " She laughed and then it died in her throat. " Do you? "

Faith was hesitant as she murmured," I don't know. Maybe. " She looked at her. " Would you mind? "

Joy shook her head. " Well , if you were helping people that need it and didn't feel pressured into it I wouldn't mind. There's nothing sexual or romantic about it so. "

Faith pursed her lips. " So if I wanted to be in the future Winston Arnett's baby surrogate mama what would you say? "

Joy started to laugh. " He texted you. "

Faith nodded. " And I said yes. "
